Abstract

The one-pot solvothermal reaction of Ni(NO3)2 with 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid (H3btc) and 4,4′-bis(imidazol-1-yl)benzene (bibp) affords two coordination compounds. The H3btc ligand is deprotonated step-by-step, and connects NiII ions into two different valence-bonded structures (the binuclear molecule and 2D (4,4) grid) under the cooperation of bibp. Hydrogen bonds have been deeply investigated, and yield an interpenetrating binodal (3,5)-connected supramolecular network with the Schäfli symbol of [42.6]·[42.65.83] and interdigitating binodal (4,6)-connected supramolecular network with the Schäfli symbol of [44.52]·[44.56.64.7], respectively.

Graphical Abstract

The one-pot solvothermal reaction of Ni(NO3)2 with 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylate and 4,4′-bis(imidazol-1-yl)benzene affords two complexes 1 and 2 which illustrate various valence-bonded architectures, i.e. discrete binuclear molecule, 2D (4,4) layer. The supramolecular networks of two complexes have been deeply investigated.
